The Fidelis Partnership (TFP), a specialty insurance and reinsurance group, has appointed Greg Bowman as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Bermuda, Mark Herget as Chief Underwriting Officer (CUO), Insurance Bermuda and Deputy Group Head of Property and Head of Property Binders, and Danny Mereu as CUO Bermuda.
TFP explained that these appointments aim to strengthen its Bermudian footprint and capabilities.
Bowman, who joined TFP in 2023, will also become a member of the Group Executive Committee. In addition to his expanded role, Bowman will also continue with his responsibilities as Group Head of Ceded Reinsurance, having relocated to Bermuda in June.
Bowman said, “Our expansion in Bermuda embodies TFP’s culture, moving at pace but underpinned by some of the best people and technology in the market. It’s exciting to see the talent we are attracting, including Helen as our new Reinsurance CUO, but crucially this is complemented by TFP’s ability to develop and promote internal talent. I look forward to working closely with John-Paul and the Executive Committee to continue the momentum we have in Bermuda.”
In his new roles, Herget will lead TFP’s Property Binders growth strategy. He joined TFP in 2020 and was previously Deputy Group Head of D&F Property, Energy and Construction.
Herget added, “We have a strong and diversified portfolio in Bermuda, and I’m looking forward to building on that momentum, working with our teams to continue developing business. We have also identified Property Binders as an area of significant opportunity for TFP, and I look forward to ensuring we maintain our momentum in this space.”
As Deputy CUO for Bermuda, Mereu will oversee all Bermuda analytics for TFP, including portfolio performance. He has served at TFP since 2023 and was previously Group Head of Property Underwriting Analytics and Pricing.
John Paul O’Hare, Group Director of Underwriting, commented on the appointments, “These appointments further enhance our Bermuda leadership, cementing the significant investment we have made in talent and capability over the last 18 months.
“The strength and experience of our senior team on the Island, as well as the depth of our technical underwriting, analytics and actuarial capabilities, is truly impressive. Alongside the launch of our two Pine Walk cells, Mezura and Adroit, we have created a powerful growth engine in Bermuda.”
These appointments follow several senior hires, promotions, and the launches by Pine Walk in Bermuda.
